Active Streets
We are thrilled to announce that VIA was selected to participate in the Active Streets Program. In partnership with the Department of Public Works, VIA will hold programming on Pierce St. to engage neighbors and obtain feedback that will result in the installment of temporary traffic calming measures along Pierce St. VIA's new Community Outreach Specialist, Isabel Castro, will lead all programming, engagement, and collection of feedback that will result in the installment of artistic semi-permanent installments on the street until 2024.
VIA’s Goals:
- Explore various strategies to reduce traffic flow using cost-effective infrastructure solutions.
- Create additional pathways and lanes for pedestrians and cyclists to engage in physical activities.
- Use artistic elements to re-imagine the street.
- Facilitate different activities on the Active Street for neighbors to explore different ways to incorporate art and wellness practices into their daily routines.
VIA 's hope is to make space for safe gatherings on the street in order to build community connections through art, body activation, and education. All activities will be open and accessible to neighbors, aiming to promote inclusivity and togetherness.
If you have any questions please contact Isabel Castro at 414-209-4220 or isabel@viacdc.org.
